Dude for real. He probably grew up eating crap and that's why he's so passionate about cooking good food. My step-dad is British and now it makes sense why he tolerates such shitty food sometimes
@@Jacob-ir6zi from what ive seen his mum is a good cook. helps that scottish food is good too but the british smear of shitty food is still noticeable
it's really common here when you get really into cooking that you get really mad at how badly most other people cook. It's literally cursed knowledge, once you have it you feel like an alien watching people make unsalted pasta or water thin gravy.
Actually most British food originated from the absolute lower class who couldn’t afford much food so they worked with what they had this is good cuz it means that they are all quick simple recipes that are almost impossible to mess up. Also England is terrible the weather is terrible the government is terrible and the school system is terrible. Sucky food is the least of our problems. Ps small tip or mushy peas ad some salt and mix it in then try it it is fab.
As an englishman i found this hilarious. If the British eat as if the luftwaffe are still flying over us, the Americans eat like they have free healthcare. Edit: 4.8 k likes and nearly 100 comments is mad, thanks everyone!
@@goopguy548 Facts. A lot of our savory 'cuisine' is atrocious, but in terms of desserts, we've got Banoffee pie, Eton mess, Treacle tart, crumbles, the list goes on.
Wow, I had no idea how true that was and I’ve been adhering to that rule my entire life. It’s really builders snack. The east reliable food for a man on a job
If Americans tried beans on toast instead of doughnuts for breakfast once in a while, they wouldn’t have a generation of people with knee braces on riding motorised wheelchairs because they’re too fat to walk.
0:23: In Britain, we only have pancakes once a year on Shrove Tuesday, and maybe also on your birthday if you ask nicely enough. As kids, we look upon the Americans having in breakfast a dedicated sweet meal every day as perversely decadent. 1:51: I can answer this. In British kitchens we have a device that heats up two slices of bread until they become hard & crunchy. A toastie is made using bread processed in this device. 3:25: You won't like Yorkshire puddings then. That's the same thing as toad-in-the-hole but with 0 sausages.
Most people I know don’t eat pancakes for breakfast, it’s just a USA meme I guess. Then again I’m from California, I think sugary breakfast is more of a southern thing. So you know, I gotta pander to the largest demographic that watches my videos haha
@@MostlyTrue : Just because it isn't practically true doesn't mean we didn't still think that. A lot of Chinese people think British people always carry umbrellas everywhere. I don't even have an umbrella on account of my unfortunate habit of losing them.
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un The American ones are just a tweak on Scottish Drop Scones. There are a number of pancakes from the UK, just if you use the word "pancake" with no context, you'll think of an "English Pancake" that's not too dissimilar from general European styles. In Wales you might get a Crempog. A crumpet is a pancake, but we have a specific name for it.
i was gonna say the same thing, even the outro made my kidneys tingle when he said "thats all for today" and my brain just completed the sentece with "im sam o nella, and thank you for watching" , i miss sam o nella :(
Who randomly decided beans is a brittish thing, it started being popular because the Americans supplied them with it post war. Heinz is an american company.
I moved to the States in 87, and my Step Fathers Mother asked if I wanted "biscuit and gravy". To a person from the UK, that means a cookie and brown gravy. I thought to myself, "These yanks are fucking mad".
American food is actually the best. We have Cajun 🦐🥘, BBQ 🔥🍖, southern comfort food 🍗🥧, Chicago and New York Pizza 🍕 , Hot Dogs 🌭 , Superior Sandwiches 🥪 , Southwestern Cuisine/Mexican 🫔🌶, TexMex 🌮🌯, Texas in general 🥩 lol etc. etc. etc. 🥞🥓🍳☕️🥑🌽🧈🥔🧀🍸🍤I could go on and on. (Although I’m running out of emojis) You get the point. And yeah we also got Ham-Frickin-Burgers and fries! 🍔🍟 You want a milkshake with that?! 🥤😡
The whole “butty” “toasty” thing is based on region. Cheese Toasty is universal cause you toast it, but for buttys they don’t necessarily need to be toasted so in some places it’s a “butty” in others it’s a “cob” or a “bap” or one of the other random names we give to bread, some places it’s just a sandwich. Welcome to Britain 👍🏻
@@mitchellvolz2698 Aye, batch is certainly a Warwickshire thing, got a few friends in Nuneaton, and hearing them call that shit Batch was a culture shock 🤣
As an Italian who went to university in the UK and lived there for a whole decade... this was heart-warmingly hilarious! Actually traditional British country cooking is good, but very few people actually cook it, or even know the recipes in the UK. I was lucky to have a friend whose mother, who lived in Yorkshire, was an amazing cook and introduced me to some of the best traditional English dishes (all made from scratch, with fresh ingredients). I also had a neighbour during my time in London who was a very good cook and she cooked me some more traditional British recipes. But apart from these two women, all the Brits I've knows were either not very good cooks or had learnt to make stuff which isn't British at all. I'm actually surprised you didn't mention Marmite, by the way!
Marmite stinks of decomposing corpses, Satan's vomit and excrement all mixed together. British savoury meals are some of the most blandest; the only seasoning they use is salt and ground black pepper, even then they make the grave error of adding salt and pepper after the food is cooked. In order to create IMMENSELY pleasurable food you need the following basic ingredients: Chillies, variety of spices, ginger, garlic, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and salt.
What is marmite? For some reason this sounds very similar to "marmita", an informal word in Brazilian Portuguese for a meal (usually lunch) that is in some form of recipient
It's a sour spread that is used like jam, it is widely known as contentious as people generally either have an unhealthy obsession with it or have sworn a blood vendetta on the evil being whom invented such a thing to inflict on mortal man.
my grandpa has this thing called a "two door recipe", basically, it's whatever he finds in the fridge (1) and whatever spices he pulls out the cabinet (2)
As a man that dated a girl from the UK, I can say I was definitely surprised when she made me instant noodles and I could actually taste the seasoning instead of straight salt
Jokes aside we actually do eat a lot of decent food here in the UK and plenty of people can cook well. It just so happens that nearly all the good food over here isn't actually British food (exceptions are fish and chips, roast dinners, and full English breakfasts)
As an Englishman I did actually find this pretty funny, but for clarification. Cheese toastie is because the bread is toasted, normal butties have untoasted bread hence the name change. Toad in the hole is great just saying, it’s not dough though, it’s Yorkshire pudding with the sausages baked into it, which makes it like a million times better than just sausagey dough. Also we have pigs in blankets too but ours are just sausages wrapped in bacon, no dough at all. Keep up the good content tho mate
@@deadscale547 Sort of except they use either Pilsbury croissant or bread dough and hot dogs, puff pastry and pork sausages are light years ahead of this.
Can’t go wrong with a classic cottage pie, just some mince, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, seasoning, gravy and bang. So hearty, so warm and so filling.
@@franceskronenwett3539 If you're talking about me I don't eat much junk food at all. Besides a lot of British cuisine is beige and not the healthiest. Cottage pie is pretty decent though. I just prefer it spiced up a bit. Spices =/= junk food lol.
@@Pebble_Collector But also spices =/= better, British food relies on good quality ingredients, due to having limited spices, they can't hide shit quality behind a ton of spice.
I miss everything listed. I remember coming home from school in the 80s and hopefully asking my mum what was for dinner. The depths my heart sank to on learning what awaited me. We (Brits) subsequently got hooked on Indian, Cantonese, Italian and Thai, and thus, happily continued our tradition of plundering others' treasures.
Not really stealing when most of the domestically popular dishes of these cuisines were invented in the UK by natives and immigrants who brought it with them
I never figured out the appeal of mushy peas or any of their bland overcooked food, but he’s right on about the meat pies. We don’t really have anything comparable besides pot pie or pasties, there was just some… ineffable quality about them. Can’t explain it
You put anything in 2 slices of bread in the uk, and its considerd a damn meal. “oh whats this? I stuffed my shit in between 2 slices of bread? Mmm delicious” your food chart is made up of grains and nothing else.
The explanation behind Butty and Toastie is because a Butty doesn't necessarily have to be toasted bread, whereas a cheese Toastie is melted cheese on toast.
As a British person, this video gives voice to the rage I have felt my entire life. Most people just don't understand what I mean when I say "Typical British low expectations" whenever someone simply accepts something painfully mediocre.
The "Butty" is a reference to the butter that is spread on the slice of bread before the other toppings are added. Nearly all British sandwiches start with buttered bread
still doesn't explain why they call it a cheese toastie instead of a cheese butty. or does a cheese toastie not have butter, which would be weird because that makes more sense to have butter than a banana butty.
@@iamdopeasfcuk Cheese toasties are not the same as cheese buttys. A cheese toastie is cheese melted between two slices of toasted bread, under a grill. It's a hot meal. A cheese butty is just two slices of buttered bread with cheese between.
As a british lad, I have experienced all of these atrocities except for banana butties. A lovely british meal that wasn’t mentioned in this video is the legendary chip butty, there is also the battered sausage, cheesy chips and our version of pigs in blankets where the blanket is bacon
This is amazing bro. The structure and tone of these videos are so care-free and fun to watch. Hilarious and relatable. Subscribed! (btw, make more Kush content, you describe it so accurately)
Toad in the hole isn't dough though, it's yorkshire pudding batter, so it's wayyy lighter and fluffier, so the ratio of sausage to "dough" is actually wayy closer than you think. Plus the yorkshire pud paired with gravy is amazing. In this essay I will
Ol freedom food gotta be packaged conveniently to eat for peak efficiency in consumption. Cut a piece of this and a piece of that and eat it together? Nope, must grab entire ingredients and push into mouth.
Yorkshire pudding was always a dish we'd have at Thanksgiving, despite living on the west coast and having parents from Colorado. I'm not sure how my mom got into it. Her maiden name is Irish, but her father was Cherokee, further confusing the origins of that being part of our tradition. But you are 100% correct. Yorkshire pudding with gravy is insanely good. My whole family is dead so hopefully I get invited to a Thanksgiving this year and I'll have a reason to make some.
As a British person I can agree, however you missed out on chip buttys, crisp buttys, fish finger sandwich and fried egg and chips,these are all things that make me glad to be half Jamaican
I'd like to point out that the cheapness of these meals appeals to the 3.2% scrooge dna we all have in us somewhere in england also: A toastie and a butty are different things because with a toastie you put the ingredients in bread and toast the entire thing bread filling and all. A butty is assembled and by the way the bread is NOT always toasted
@@gredangeo No, it’s literally just the British name for the American grilled cheese. I don’t know why the video creator acted so strangely to this one, as an American I’m pretty sure this is something most of us have had
yeah kinda but we don't make it your way, I'd say 90% of the time you use something called a toastie maker which is kinda like a waffle iron for sandwiches, or if you made a panini maker cheap
Brit here: the "butty's" are between *bread*. And toasties are between *toast*. A cheese toastie is not just a cheese sandwich, the cheese is melted and so much better. You would usually call it a "grilled cheese"
@@timeless9940 well a chip butty would actually be in a bread roll. Idk how Americans call them though. But yeah, butties/butty's are between buttered bread. Always gotta have butter or some kind of margarine on there. No dry ass bread/toast here.
Beans on toast is one of those meals you never fancy but then when you have it it's bloody good. Butty is buttered bread/roll, toastie is toasted bread for a sandwich.
As a British person I’ve never laughed so much and simultaneously been so offended at a non-British person discussing British foods. Especially the toad in the hole slander (FYI the “dough” is the best part!)
I forgot a about this tbh,all I learned was other countries don't know what their missing... 1.beans an toast BANGING 2.fish chips an mushy peas BANGING 3.toad an the hole F'ING BANGING I honestly feel bad for the rest of the world,it's a goddamned shame if I'm honest... BLACKPUDDING..its amazing,have bacon an beans wie it.TRUST ME British foods banging,try it an see.🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴✊✊✊✊✊
It took me a while, but after touring the UK several times i learned to love the full english, mostly because everything you get afterwards is usually worse.
I worked as a chef for 20 years and I still eat beans on toast, bacon sandwiches, cheese on toast…my favourite meal of all time is 2 eggs chips and a sausage
I remember reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as a kid, and thinking it was a bit weird that at one point, Harry and Dudley eat tinned tomatoes on toast for breakfast. Like, who puts tomatoes on toast? For breakfast? But I guess British people do.
Not the tastiest meal ever but it’s quick, easy to make with ingredients you likely already have in your cupboard and a good budget meal if you’re struggling to make ends meet
I've discovered, in my very limited experience with British Cuisine, that so many British dishes is literally something from your pantry or fridge + bread. The less sense it makes the better. Two kinds of starches? They don't care. French Fries and bread? "Chip Butty" Pringles and bread? "Crisp Butty" Just deadass plain white sugar? "Sugar Sandwich." Why not "Sugar Butty"? I'm convinced the goal is to confuse you.
Have you ever had a chip butty ? If not then I challenge you to eat one and come back and TELL ME THAT SHIT IS NOT GLORIOUS! Not every work of art has to make sense
@@kingzecromatic gotta use the best beer batter chips or wedges with the best fluffy white bread and drizzling best butter on it then smear some garlic sour cream over the hot chips and HMMM!!!!!!
For all the non-brits, Black pudding is really very hit or miss in terms of quality and flavor as there are many different recipes and regional variations. Don't be put off by one bad experience.
In all fairness I prefer the cheaper verieties that are sold in the supermarkets . But the number one rule is never fry it .Eat it raw, as its intended to be eaten .
English people literally had the biggest empire in history and its main economic impact was the spice trade. FOR GOD SAKE, USE THEM PLEASE! barbarians never change
I love that you explain the reason why British food sucks, it's been a long held theory of mine but I never hear it discussed. I live in France so I'm constantly explaining to people "you don't understand, we had no food for years, all our recipes come from this time in our history and it's only now people are trying to improve things". We still had rationing for like years after the way.
Some of the nicest foods of continental Europe are English foods, but Italian is probably the most preferred. English food is full of flavour and spices and make some of the most defined foods available. Unfortunately a lot of England can't afford to make that food or buy it, same applies to a vast majority of the world, English food is only bland if you can't afford good food, so is any food from another country.
But, but, but... most of Europe was completely wrecked, some were bombed to oblivion before also falling under Soviet rule, after that it was terror/famine/terror, and somehow people did not forget how to make decent food. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the sheer amount my blood pressure went up when you said "a cheese toastie is just a cheese sandwich" and "why break the naming convention" BRUH ITS GOT "TOAST" IN THE NAME. IT'S A TOASTED SANDWICH. A BUTTY IS NOT TOASTED
Feeling RIGHT NOW!!! Go do some research, UA-camr!!! Imagine ordering a 'bacon butty' but getting a "bacon toastie" and NOT killing all the employees....
You’re right they are delicious. I’d strongly suggest the bacon sandwich though. With a lovely pan fried egg with a soft yolk in there and a good coffee in the morning is amazing.
I swear to god I've not laughed so hysterically at something in years, the vid is only 3 minutes long and my abs hurt from laughing. I'm a British guy who likes British food too.
Congrats on the fast growth man. I found your channel when you had 100 subs and posted on some subreddits. I also had very few then. Knew you’d go somewhere if you kept posting. Glad to see the algorithm push your content. Go get it!
A toastie is made using a toastie machine- a sandwich is not the same as a toastie. Calling something a sandwich would imply it was made using untoasted bread, with a couple of exceptions. Toasties only earn their nomenclature through their baptism à la toastie machine. A butty is usually made using un-toasted bread or a bread roll. If toasted bread (toast) is used, it’s made using a toaster not the toastie machine, hence the difference. Butty and sandwich are generally interchangeable. However, I find 'butty' is usually preferred when preparing breakfast items, such as a bacon butty/bap or a sausage butty/bap. Lunch items are normally referred to using 'sandwich', like a ham or chicken sandwich.
i think its a bit fucked to say its not a sandwich if the bread is toasted, just as someone who makes sandwiches for a living and the majority of them i make are hot or toasted ones lol. Im not british, so that is a very shocking disparity to me. What would you call grilled or fried chicken sandwich with a toasted bun? a chicken toastie? or what about a club sandwich thats made with toasted bread? club toastie? lolol
The cheese toastie is different in that the cheese is on the bread whilst it’s being toasted, compared to a bacon butty or sausage butty already being toasted when you put the stuff on it.
@@blus17 it's different to a grilled cheese because it's cooked in an enclosed waffle iron type setup. It means there's more moisture trapped in the bread which makes the crusts nice and chewy and less dry compared to a grilled cheese
Beans on buttered toast is legit, black pudding is legit, good mushy peas are legit and a toastie is a toastie because it is toasted and buttys aren't.
Mate, we do have something called 'pigs in blanket', its called sausage rolls, they are a British staple, one of our major food groups, up there with beans on toast and 'mystery meat' kebabs from the guy that calls you Bossman.
Pigs in blankets are not sausage rolls. Pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon whereas sausage rolls are sausage wrapped in pastry. I expected better from a fellow Englishman
Heinz baked beans on good quality granary bread (toasted) with grated cheddar cheese (mild) and a shit-load of chilli oil drizzled on top is goddamn delicious (NB I'm English).
Dude, if your dad is British you should know they absolutely wrap sausage individually they called sausage rolls and they are fantastic. Also, they eat some version of blood pudding in Spain, France, Germany and Scandinavia. It’s great too.
The US largely doesn't understand pies unless it is a dessert one, that they're pretty good at. Chicken pot pie is pretty much the only one that is widely available. Pasties and bridies are annoyingly referred to as "hand pies" and are generally only available if you live in Minnesota or make them yourself. Greggs would take this country by storm if they had the balls to invest.
I honestly cannot understand how savoury meat pies and sausage rolls haven't become popular in the US, they're such a good quick food and I cannot imagine living in a place (I'm Australian) that doesn't have them.
@@Sevicify The US doesn't really have a market for Mutton, which from what I understand is one of the original primary driving forces behind the meat pie industry. As far as sausage rolls, probably just because we have Pigs in Blankets already, including in miniature form. This may be personal bias, but most of our sausage consumption is either Italian cuisine, or directly grilled and eaten alone or with a hot dog bun.
@@NavyPheonix The little research I've just done suggests that the pilgrims in North American colonies originally ate savoury meat-based pies based on recipes that they brought over from England, and for whatever reason over time they fell out of favour while sweet pies became more popular. I also don't agree a market for mutton would be important in driving a meat pie industry, meat pies can be made from any meat (or meat substitutes for vegetarians) and here in Australia beef is the most common used. As for sausage rolls it's just ground meat with seasoning & other mix-ins wrapped in puff pastry in the form of a log, it just gets its name from the fact that ground meat with seasoning & other mix-ins is typically called sausage meat. As with pies they are very versatile and can be made from any kind of meat/meat substitutes, I've even made them using canned salmon to great success, so I don't agree that the typical kind of sausages people eat over there really matters. I also don't think that pigs in blankets would have had anything to do with it, they're fairly different to a traditional sausage roll and their existence in other countries like UK and Australia hasn't affected its popularity. Considering the versatility, ease of making and convenience of both it just baffles me how they aren't popular over there.
Permit me to explain to our Colonial cousins: A Butty (with a hard 't') is slang for any sandwich where you butter the bread so a cheese butty is a cheese sandwich with cold cheese either sliced or grated. What makes a Cheese Toastie is because the whole sandwich has been toasted which melts the cheese. See also; Ham & Cheese Butty vs. Ham & Cheese Toastie
To clarify the naming scheme: Buttie = Sandwich Toastie = Toasted sandwich On toast = On toast PS black pudding is great, 99% of people who hate it have never had it
Absolutely true, everyone I ever met who claimed not to like black pudding had either never had it, or they'd tried it late in life and so went in knowing what it was made from, and that had grossed them out before they even took a bite. It's seriously delicious.
Black pudding is the tastiest food in the world. Needs nothing to enhance it and as part of what Delboy calls "a health conscious fry up" if it's not on the plate then it's sorely missed, although double egg, fried slice, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and bangers with a nice cup of tea get along well enough without it.....that's what HP sauce is for.
I don't get it, first you write "it probably went over those Brits heads" and then you write "we do have hotel options in the UK!!", so are you British and just self-deprecating, or are you just talking shit?
I’m Canadian. Discovered beans on toast when I visited family in England. My dad who’s English never made it for us or had it at home here in Canada, which I find interesting. As for myself, I like it once and a while. It’s a cheap and easy meal to make that satisfies my hunger.
@@Amaglabiddiaghloughbuite American have the balls to insult a simple conventional snack like beans on toast while they’re literally eating Twinkie’s and cream cheese in a bottle
I'm an American who has somewhat adopted beans on toast. It's good on days when you have a lot of shit to get done, but can spare just enough time for a food you can't eat one-handed. I ate loads of beans on toast in college and law school.
@@erraticonteuse This is it. It's not so much a national treasure, more just a simple cheap meal, a lot of us had it growing up so it can remind you of home, and you soon learn you can't afford nice meals every day if you're in education etc. You start Uni doing toast, and when you can nail not burning it, they let you use the big boy pot on a hob and get some beans on the go. Same as pot noodles. It's a cheap meal ready to eat in a couple minutes. It makes sense. Would you find spaghetti hoops on toast also strange or? It's just cheap shit that comes in a tin, lasts a long time and having it on toast is nicer than having it on it's own. Compare the breakfasts for example, I find it very strange that some of you guys will have a similar breakfast to we do, eggs bacon sausage etc, which I strongly approve of. But then you'll have a pile of pancakes in the middle, and then pour maple syrup on EVERYTHING. I would think pancakes or waffles and syrup are more of a dessert.
@@Josh-jy6hg I still wouldn't eat beans on toast for breakfast, but for me the purpose is a good balance between kCal, carbs, and price. There's no need to put spaghetti hoops on toast, spaghetti hoops are already mostly carbs. But beans are mostly protein, so boosting them with a bit of bread is fine. That said, proper Heinz beans (as opposed to American baked beans which have loads of sugar in them) are harder to find and cost more than spaghetti hoops (or Spaghetti-Os), so they lose out in America in the low-cost, low-carb arena.
"Butty" is between two slices of BUTTERED bread break, not just break. The bread can be toasted before too. But "Toastie" is toasted after the filling is added. Unlike the US grilled cheese, toasties don't usually have butter, so it doesn't fall under the butty umbrella
@@joshtowlerton6238 not necessarily and I suppose it depends on your definition of cooked. Banana butties definitely aren't cooked but making cheese involves some cooking. I had childhood friends who liked sugar butties.
Banana sandwiches are actually good tho. Buttys are not typically toasted but toasties are. We even have a contraption called a toastie maker which is kinda like a waffle press or whatever it’s called but you put a sandwich in and it seals the sides up for you so the cheese and optional additional ham or tomato stays in. But I prefer just doing it in a pan or under the grill. And we do have pigs in blankets but we wrap them in bacon instead
i can see banana sandos being pretty ok, but wtf, do you not have the extra thirty seconds to spread some peanut butter or nutella on that shit? just seems boring and flaccid.
Butty is only one of many slang terms for sandwich in different regions. I never heard it called a butty until I moved up north. Also, the reason a toastie is called a toastie is because IT IS TOASTED. Most sandwiches/buttys aren't toasted. The toastie is basically a bit like the American grilled-cheese but uses a toastie maker, which is kinda like a George Foreman grill made for sandwiches. And other thing, our bigs in blankets here are much better than the American version - it is literally a sausage wrapped in bacon. I'm surprised that Americans haven't stolen that one. As for the rest, only beans on toast, pies (in various forms and with various fillings) and toad in the hole are really eaten much, and they're all pretty good. Beans on toast is great - many students basically live on it because they spend the majority of their student loans on alcohol and this provides a very cheap, yet nutritious meal.
Plus with Toad in the Hole, there's nothing wrong with "getting just dough". It's Yorkshire Pudding. We usually eat that stuff on its own. Different type of dough
‘Butties’ are generally sandwiches made with rolls rather than bread, kinda like a burger but not really. A cheese toastie is cheese between toast. Also black pudding is incredible and I will die on this hill.
I can attest to white pudding and black pudding, shit is fucking delicious with eggs and toast in the morning. I just discovered them like 2 years ago and I have been better off since
I would say a butty isn't toasted bread, but a toastie is always toasted. To me a bacon butty and bacon toastie are entirely different things. Btw, if this was stressful, please avoid the bap, butty, roll debate. Source: I'm British
And you got toad in the hole a bit wrong. Usually you eat that with some veg and gravy, you don't ever have to eat pure dough. But it's Yorkshire Pudding so it's not that bad on it's own anyway. Also, whenever I've had pigs in blankets it was always sausages wrapped in bacon, not sure if that's actually a thing or not but it's good.
A "cheese butty" is just a normal cheese sandwich i.e. raw. "Toastie" is the distinction of it being toasted. And "pigs in blankets" in the UK are sausages wrapped in bacon, very commonly served at Christmas.
@@victorkreig6089 looks like we found the american, im calling backup from scotland and if that fails im sending the whole of the united kingdom after you
This is the greatest hidden gem I’ve ever found on UA-cam please continue making content your videos are amazing I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you become one of the biggest creators on this platform
Butty is a sandwich with butter on it and it tends not to be toasted. A cheese toastie is a toastie because it's toasted. If it was not toasted, it would be a cheese butty. If you put bacon on it, then toast it, it's a bacon and cheese toastie. Generally toasties are also made in a toastie maker, not just toasted bread used to make a sandwich. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Just want to point out that blood pudding is a delicacy across much of Europe. Its more widely eaten in Britain but definitely is eaten within Europe as a whole under different names like the blutwurst in Germany, boudin noir in France and morcilla in Spanish and even blóðmör in Iceland
It comes from middle ages/famine times. If you don't want to slaughter an animal you can just let out some blood from it and make pudding from it. That way you still have a somewhat substantial meal but you don't have to sacrifice livestock to eat.
1:50 well actually the term “butty” is usually defined by putting an item in between 2 *untoasted* pieces of bread, whereas the term “toastie” is given to an item in between 2 *toasted* slices of bread, changing the taste and texture
am here to clarify: - Butty refers to a sandwich on toasted bread that has been BUTTERED - Toastie refers to a sandwich that has been toasted as a whole thank u
butty = untoasted toastie = toasted roll = in a bun, untoasted bap = in a bun, generally toasted. we put butter on all of these unless you're a heathen. also banana toasties (+bacon), toast sandwich, crisp sandwich, anything you can put between bread is god tier.
Having a French mother but living in the UK, this hits on another level. A toastie means you put the sandwich in a toaster after putting the filling in or under a grill so the cheese melts inside too
As an american with a scottish dad. Black pudding is actually really good. Great addition to the power house of breakfast proteins of bacon and sausage.
As a Frenchman raised by an English grandfather, Beans on toast are a part of my childhood, it's a bit like my "Madeleine de Proust" . Anyway I'm one of those people who are perpetuating this kind of atrocities on earth. My 3Yrs old is eating Heinz beaked beans, with a buttery toast on Sundays... And steak and kidney pie !
This was seriously too funny! I was LMAO throughout the entire video. A friend of mine (a native New Yorker) spent about 6 months in London because of his job. It would drive him crazy every time he ordered food there and they always insisted on asking "baked beans?" as a side FOR BREAKFAST!!! He truly was not amused!
@@m.oninom yes like sausages because apparently we conquered Germany but this is a terrible argument about cuisine we are talking about quality of food not moral rights to make it
Black Pudding is also kind of a thing over here in Finland too, though we just call them black sausages. Our variation is made with pork, pig blood, crushed rye and flour, and it's generally eaten with lingonberry jam. From my experience, black sausages are bit more wet than black pudding, which felt very dry when I tried it. Probably because black sausages are cooked by steaming, and eaten while still warm. It used to be something factory workers ate, made from bunch of left-over ingredients, but it's become sort of acquired delicacy these days. I'm not gonna claim that it's the height of culinary experience, but personally I like it.
OK I might actually be interested in trying that one. I really would love to try more Scandinavian foods. My apologies if I'm not using the right preferred term for your geographical area of the globe :)
Beans on toast is something I still enjoy to this day, especially when the butter is melted just right and the crust of the toast has just the right level of crunch
Beans on toast is delicious, I just think people overdo it with the beans sometimes. Like they use a full can for one slice of toast or something. Then the bread gets buried and loses its taste and texture. It's much nicer when only a small amount of the beans and sauce are used, like one tablespoon per slice. Then you can actually taste the crispness of the toast, and the butter on top, and you can grate some cheese on top if you're feeling fancy too!
I had an English neighbor for years. She had married an American serviceman and came to live here with him. I gotta say, some of the smells coming from their house when she cooked were pretty good! She let me try some of the food she made. Some of it was so foreign and strange looking to an American. But some of it was really good. It’s really all about personal taste in the end.
I think it's just when you compare to the continental food, english food lack depth. They don't have a table culture like france or italy. We learn early in the continent to eat healthy 3 courses meals. A healthy salad or light dish for entrée, a main meal for consistency and a platter of cheese before dessert. And we drink water to go with it. That would be a standard cantina meal. In England they just eat on the go and don't give any time or respect for the food culture :/
Toad in the hole isn't just dough. It's yorkshire pudding which is a really nice crunchy dough with a really nice flavour that also has sausages in it. Which, when paired with gravy, is some pretty nice stuff.
it’s also the exact same thing as americans eating bacon on pancakes. it’s a cut of pork, on top of a batter made of milk, eggs, and flour. yet americans slate it for some reason
@@tia8245 Who the hell eats bacon on pancakes? I've never in my life heard of anyone doing that before, that sounds like some weird urban legend lol. I've always wanted to try a Yorkshire pudding so bad, whenever I make it to the UK it'll be one of the first things I try, that and the full English breakfast.
Fish and Chips, Sausages and Mash, Welsh Rarebit, Sunday Roast, Full English, Beef Wellington, Shepards/Cottage/Fish Pie, Aberdeen Angus Steak & Chips, Beef stew and Dumplings, Welsh Lamb Chops all crap are they?
As someone who spent most their childhood in England. I gotta say that there are some British foods that I still crave till this day like Yorkshire pudding, fish and chips, shepherds pie, and the beef/chicken pies. Every culture has its own unique food and tastes and that’s what’s great about living in places that are multicultural where you have all of that in one street.

As an English man I can safely say beans on toast is way better than anything with grits, and a butty is a sandwich and a toastie is a toasted sandwich kinda self explanatory for that one 😂
As an English man living in the USA, I have personally made cheesy shrimp taco grits. Those are the only grits that have ever been worth eating. The rest make beans-on-toast look like Michelin-starred delicacies.
@@johnfranke1374 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well, there are two main definitions, food-wise: 1) The Grit: A decades-old, actually rather decent vegetarian restaurant in Athens, GA that closed down recently due to staffing problems, or 2) Grits: A traditional horrible slop made of ground corn and, by the taste and texture of it, sweat and mucus. Available in plain, sweet, cheesy, or with shrimps in. So far, the only time I've liked grits is when I made my own nacho-cheesy shrimp taco grits to use up a bag of grits we got with a gift basket from our car dealership. The trick is the same as with stone soup: add enough tasty things to hide the fact that the grits themselves are just spackle for the stomach.
@@Beedo_Sookcool well the latter sounds downright disgusting Have traveled in the south a bunch of times Have seen it on people's plates And watched them eat it Was always confused how they could Thanks for clearing that up If you'd like I'll try and explain OUR love for Americas national sandwich: the PBJ

For me (a Brit) cheese toasty is a sad piece of cheese between some toast but a grilled cheese is when you but way too much fat and obesity on it so it tastes amazing.
As an Aussie we use them interchangeably to describe everything from sad bread + cheese slapped together to some fuckin delicacy you spent the whole afternoon perfecting.
@@sammyc-h2627 a suggestion from across the pond: obesifying your grilled cheese will absolutely make it delicious, but there are ways to make a good one without an unhealthy amount of butter or bacon fat or whatever your poison of choice is. My ususal method is to use the minimum amount of butter required to toast two pieces of bread lightly on both sides. I toast what will become the inner sides first, flip one over and put two slices of cheese on the now hot, toasted bread, and then put the other toasted side on top of the cheese. The cheese is already melting by this point, and you just have to use enough butter to toast the outer sides to your liking. Or you can even substitute butter for something healthier like olive or coconut oil. bonus points if you do any of the following: • add your favorite deli meat in between the cheese slices (break it up just a little so the cheese can melt between it and still hold everything together during flipping) • use cheese that's especially melty, like havarti or muenster • add a pickle slice for crunch • pair with ketchup or tomato soup for dipping enjoy!
Best grilled cheese recipe: whole wheat bread for it's extra strength slathered with mayonnaise instead of butter. Two pieces of sharp cheddar two slices of ham one thin slice of tomato. Cook it in cast iron until both sides are black then dip in tomato soup and sour cream
It is fascinating how foods of necessity born from severe crisis's that were never meant or considered good cuisine, have endured into the cultural zeitgeist. This stuff is objectively low quality, but it has a lineage that keeps it going. There's a lot of similar American cuisine from the Great Depression and Dust Bowl still eaten today. Primarily in the midwest.
it's not low quality it's just not high status. Mushy peas are good. Blood pudding is good. Beans on toast is good. It's all comfort food that costs little and prepares quickly. Fish and chips are good.
Well, I have to say ... Carrot cake. That was a ww2 British rationing dish, and it is absolute perfection. Of course, you have to have the correct icing with walnuts on top.
This was hilarious. As a Brit, I grew up on beans on toast, toasties and bacon butties but agree that mushy peas are an abomination. Glad you enjoyed your pie!
As a canadian I saw multiple people saying “ he forgot about cheesy chips dipped in gravy “ my heart dropped, british people can no longer say Americans are ignorant.
Polish here with a couple of yrs long stay in the UK. At first, I just couldn't get the English food at all. Then I slowly but surely had a go on different dishes and liked it. Came back home in 2010, yet up to this day I'm loving me beans on toastie or on the fried egg, like me salt and vinegar on chips, like me steak rather raw with some mashed potatoes and mushy peas. Not to mention a healthy dose of Guinness! Over all this cuisine is not so bad as it is depicted here. Have a go on it, go to the countryside, find a nice inn and dine there. You will be very surprised.
I can never understand why Polish food is not more popular in the UK because everyone knows a Pole and there is a shop in every town. I regularly buy Polish sausage, ham joints, bread, pierogi, and beetroot with horseradish in a glass jar. Polish tomato sauce (Pudliski) is nicer than Heinz with a well-rounded and not too-sweet tomatoey taste. English pickled beetroot is awful, harsh and vinegary but the Poles really know what to do with beetroot.
@@tonymaries1652 it is certainly very nice I even think a lot of the fruit drinks and confectionery /sweets are more flavoursome than a lot of the English stuff there dumpling are also definitely worth checking out .
@@tonymaries1652, my guess would be it's not as exotic as, say, indian cuisine, very similar to german or czech food (well, not really, but you see it different}, and the last thing would be the social resentmen: there're too many Poles who literally flooded into the country after 2004, this may stop the Brits somehow. At the end of the day, we made you to brexit.
I grew up on this far from the mid sixties and I mostly have good memories of the food. You did not mention haggis fish & chips, jugged hare, pollock pie, mealies of assorted offal from pigs, sheep and cattle (good times) Treacle pudding, and bread and butter pudding with treacle and cinnamon. Forgettable was porridge that so over salted as to be inedible, but it was Dad's favourite as he was Scottish, so, so be it. Also, these foods in the times to come will seen like the high class cuisine of Royalty, fondly remembered in the years and decades to come.
Gordon Ramsay being mad at other British people for not knowing how to cook just makes more and more sense as I get older

Actually most British food originated from the absolute lower class who couldn’t afford much food so they worked with what they had this is good cuz it means that they are all quick simple recipes that are almost impossible to mess up. Also England is terrible the weather is terrible the government is terrible and the school system is terrible. Sucky food is the least of our problems. Ps small tip or mushy peas ad some salt and mix it in then try it it is fab.

"Bacon sandwiches are for people about to do something useful"
- Sir James May
When I worked in the kitchens, we would always offer a bacon butty to anyone who came in to fix something for us.
Bacon is for sycophants and products of incest.
Wow, I had no idea how true that was and I’ve been adhering to that rule my entire life. It’s really builders snack. The east reliable food for a man on a job
Bacon sandwich and a cuppa
the breakfast/lunch of gods, makes me think of a mechanic or when some repairmen/woman comes to fix something
If Americans tried beans on toast instead of doughnuts for breakfast once in a while, they wouldn’t have a generation of people with knee braces on riding motorised wheelchairs because they’re too fat to walk.
0:23: In Britain, we only have pancakes once a year on Shrove Tuesday, and maybe also on your birthday if you ask nicely enough. As kids, we look upon the Americans having in breakfast a dedicated sweet meal every day as perversely decadent.
1:51: I can answer this. In British kitchens we have a device that heats up two slices of bread until they become hard & crunchy. A toastie is made using bread processed in this device.
3:25: You won't like Yorkshire puddings then. That's the same thing as toad-in-the-hole but with 0 sausages.
Most people I know don’t eat pancakes for breakfast, it’s just a USA meme I guess. Then again I’m from California, I think sugary breakfast is more of a southern thing.
So you know, I gotta pander to the largest demographic that watches my videos haha
@@MostlyTrue : Just because it isn't practically true doesn't mean we didn't still think that. A lot of Chinese people think British people always carry umbrellas everywhere. I don't even have an umbrella on account of my unfortunate habit of losing them.
@@MostlyTrue British pancakes are more like crepes, not the lovely thick mini cakes the Americans have usually covered with butter and maple syrup.
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un The American ones are just a tweak on Scottish Drop Scones. There are a number of pancakes from the UK, just if you use the word "pancake" with no context, you'll think of an "English Pancake" that's not too dissimilar from general European styles. In Wales you might get a Crempog. A crumpet is a pancake, but we have a specific name for it.

Who randomly decided beans is a brittish thing, it started being popular because the Americans supplied them with it post war. Heinz is an american company.
I moved to the States in 87, and my Step Fathers Mother asked if I wanted "biscuit and gravy". To a person from the UK, that means a cookie and brown gravy. I thought to myself, "These yanks are fucking mad".

The whole “butty” “toasty” thing is based on region. Cheese Toasty is universal cause you toast it, but for buttys they don’t necessarily need to be toasted so in some places it’s a “butty” in others it’s a “cob” or a “bap” or one of the other random names we give to bread, some places it’s just a sandwich. Welcome to Britain 👍🏻
My girlfriend is from Coventry and they write it as bap but pronounce them "batch". So many localizations for everyone being so close together.

As an Italian who went to university in the UK and lived there for a whole decade... this was heart-warmingly hilarious! Actually traditional British country cooking is good, but very few people actually cook it, or even know the recipes in the UK. I was lucky to have a friend whose mother, who lived in Yorkshire, was an amazing cook and introduced me to some of the best traditional English dishes (all made from scratch, with fresh ingredients). I also had a neighbour during my time in London who was a very good cook and she cooked me some more traditional British recipes. But apart from these two women, all the Brits I've knows were either not very good cooks or had learnt to make stuff which isn't British at all. I'm actually surprised you didn't mention Marmite, by the way!
Marmite stinks of decomposing corpses, Satan's vomit and excrement all mixed together. British savoury meals are some of the most blandest; the only seasoning they use is salt and ground black pepper, even then they make the grave error of adding salt and pepper after the food is cooked. In order to create IMMENSELY pleasurable food you need the following basic ingredients: Chillies, variety of spices, ginger, garlic, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and salt.
What is marmite?
For some reason this sounds very similar to "marmita", an informal word in Brazilian Portuguese for a meal (usually lunch) that is in some form of recipient
@@Rafael_Peixoto Marmite is brown gooey stuff that stinks as bad as shit

They had to get something after that many years in India.
As an Englishman I did actually find this pretty funny, but for clarification. Cheese toastie is because the bread is toasted, normal butties have untoasted bread hence the name change. Toad in the hole is great just saying, it’s not dough though, it’s Yorkshire pudding with the sausages baked into it, which makes it like a million times better than just sausagey dough. Also we have pigs in blankets too but ours are just sausages wrapped in bacon, no dough at all. Keep up the good content tho mate

@@Pebble_Collector But also spices =/= better, British food relies on good quality ingredients, due to having limited spices, they can't hide shit quality behind a ton of spice.

I've discovered, in my very limited experience with British Cuisine, that so many British dishes is literally something from your pantry or fridge + bread.
The less sense it makes the better. Two kinds of starches? They don't care.
French Fries and bread? "Chip Butty"
Pringles and bread? "Crisp Butty"
Just deadass plain white sugar? "Sugar Sandwich."
Why not "Sugar Butty"?
I'm convinced the goal is to confuse you.
Have you ever had a chip butty ? If not then I challenge you to eat one and come back and TELL ME THAT SHIT IS NOT GLORIOUS! Not every work of art has to make sense
Getting some chips and sausage from a chippy and putting It all in a sandwich is glorious
@@kingzecromatic gotta use the best beer batter chips or wedges with the best fluffy white bread and drizzling best butter on it then smear some garlic sour cream over the hot chips and HMMM!!!!!!
Using pringles in a crisp sandwich is a disservice to crisp sandwiches, has to be walkers cheese and onion for me
Have you never bought a sandwich coke and crisp meal deal, and then added the crisps to your sandwich to give it a nice crunchy layer?
For all the non-brits, Black pudding is really very hit or miss in terms of quality and flavor as there are many different recipes and regional variations. Don't be put off by one bad experience.

I love that you explain the reason why British food sucks, it's been a long held theory of mine but I never hear it discussed. I live in France so I'm constantly explaining to people "you don't understand, we had no food for years, all our recipes come from this time in our history and it's only now people are trying to improve things". We still had rationing for like years after the way.
no one says that shit tbh
Some of the nicest foods of continental Europe are English foods, but Italian is probably the most preferred. English food is full of flavour and spices and make some of the most defined foods available. Unfortunately a lot of England can't afford to make that food or buy it, same applies to a vast majority of the world, English food is only bland if you can't afford good food, so is any food from another country.
The fact you think this is how we eat is hilarious, it’s not Britain as a whole, it’s his psycho dad feeding him dog food😂😂
But, but, but... most of Europe was completely wrecked, some were bombed to oblivion before also falling under Soviet rule, after that it was terror/famine/terror, and somehow people did not forget how to make decent food. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, we had a good competition going with France for the best desserts then there were 2 world's wars 😭
the sheer amount my blood pressure went up when you said "a cheese toastie is just a cheese sandwich" and "why break the naming convention"

As an Italian person, I'm actually envious of your meat pies. They look delicious. Everything else I can live without though lol.
You’re right they are delicious. I’d strongly suggest the bacon sandwich though. With a lovely pan fried egg with a soft yolk in there and a good coffee in the morning is amazing.

A toastie is made using a toastie machine- a sandwich is not the same as a toastie. Calling something a sandwich would imply it was made using untoasted bread, with a couple of exceptions. Toasties only earn their nomenclature through their baptism à la toastie machine.
A butty is usually made using un-toasted bread or a bread roll. If toasted bread (toast) is used, it’s made using a toaster not the toastie machine, hence the difference. Butty and sandwich are generally interchangeable.
However, I find 'butty' is usually preferred when preparing breakfast items, such as a bacon butty/bap or a sausage butty/bap. Lunch items are normally referred to using 'sandwich', like a ham or chicken sandwich.
Hmm. Someone named John who's an expert on toasties.. Do you have a Breville out back?
@@heroinboblivesagain5478 I do!
@S G that’s generally how languages are formed, mate.
@S G whatever you say mate.
i think its a bit fucked to say its not a sandwich if the bread is toasted, just as someone who makes sandwiches for a living and the majority of them i make are hot or toasted ones lol. Im not british, so that is a very shocking disparity to me. What would you call grilled or fried chicken sandwich with a toasted bun? a chicken toastie? or what about a club sandwich thats made with toasted bread? club toastie? lolol
The cheese toastie is different in that the cheese is on the bread whilst it’s being toasted, compared to a bacon butty or sausage butty already being toasted when you put the stuff on it.
Oh so you mean a grilled cheese?
@@blus17 kind of… except it’s made in what’s like a waffle iron but for cheese toasties…. This is my culture
@@matthewcoughtrey8383 but that is brilliantly convenient, just throw it in the iron and in a few minutes you have a delicious gooey grilled cheese🤤
@@blus17 it's different to a grilled cheese because it's cooked in an enclosed waffle iron type setup. It means there's more moisture trapped in the bread which makes the crusts nice and chewy and less dry compared to a grilled cheese
butties arent toasted, toasties are toasted
Beans on buttered toast is legit, black pudding is legit, good mushy peas are legit and a toastie is a toastie because it is toasted and buttys aren't.
Mate, we do have something called 'pigs in blanket', its called sausage rolls, they are a British staple, one of our major food groups, up there with beans on toast and 'mystery meat' kebabs from the guy that calls you Bossman.

Dude, if your dad is British you should know they absolutely wrap sausage individually they called sausage rolls and they are fantastic. Also, they eat some version of blood pudding in Spain, France, Germany and Scandinavia. It’s great too.
Sausage rolls are almost invariably made with mince though and not whole sausage.
Just because other places eat it, doesn't mean it's good food 🤣
German blood pudding is delicious. The English version is propably great too
@@DaigurenXHyourinmaru its just sausage meat without the casing, not mince

The insult to injury is when the British add vinegar or mint to any of these dishes.
The US largely doesn't understand pies unless it is a dessert one, that they're pretty good at. Chicken pot pie is pretty much the only one that is widely available. Pasties and bridies are annoyingly referred to as "hand pies" and are generally only available if you live in Minnesota or make them yourself. Greggs would take this country by storm if they had the balls to invest.
I honestly cannot understand how savoury meat pies and sausage rolls haven't become popular in the US, they're such a good quick food and I cannot imagine living in a place (I'm Australian) that doesn't have them.
@@Sevicify The US doesn't really have a market for Mutton, which from what I understand is one of the original primary driving forces behind the meat pie industry.
As far as sausage rolls, probably just because we have Pigs in Blankets already, including in miniature form. This may be personal bias, but most of our sausage consumption is either Italian cuisine, or directly grilled and eaten alone or with a hot dog bun.
@@NavyPheonix The little research I've just done suggests that the pilgrims in North American colonies originally ate savoury meat-based pies based on recipes that they brought over from England, and for whatever reason over time they fell out of favour while sweet pies became more popular. I also don't agree a market for mutton would be important in driving a meat pie industry, meat pies can be made from any meat (or meat substitutes for vegetarians) and here in Australia beef is the most common used.
As for sausage rolls it's just ground meat with seasoning & other mix-ins wrapped in puff pastry in the form of a log, it just gets its name from the fact that ground meat with seasoning & other mix-ins is typically called sausage meat. As with pies they are very versatile and can be made from any kind of meat/meat substitutes, I've even made them using canned salmon to great success, so I don't agree that the typical kind of sausages people eat over there really matters. I also don't think that pigs in blankets would have had anything to do with it, they're fairly different to a traditional sausage roll and their existence in other countries like UK and Australia hasn't affected its popularity.
Considering the versatility, ease of making and convenience of both it just baffles me how they aren't popular over there.
There's also pasties in Upper Michigan. Don't try to find them in Lower Michigan though.
Mennonite and Amish pies though, those are banger.
Permit me to explain to our Colonial cousins:
A Butty (with a hard 't') is slang for any sandwich where you butter the bread so a cheese butty is a cheese sandwich with cold cheese either sliced or grated.
What makes a Cheese Toastie is because the whole sandwich has been toasted which melts the cheese.
See also; Ham & Cheese Butty vs. Ham & Cheese Toastie
butty doesn't have a hard t where i'm from in south london, in fact you don't pronounce the t at all.
To clarify the naming scheme:
Buttie = Sandwich
Toastie = Toasted sandwich
On toast = On toast
PS black pudding is great, 99% of people who hate it have never had it
I'm in that 1% as a British lad
I, too, am in that 1% as a British lad

Absolutely true, everyone I ever met who claimed not to like black pudding had either never had it, or they'd tried it late in life and so went in knowing what it was made from, and that had grossed them out before they even took a bite. It's seriously delicious.
Black pudding is the tastiest food in the world. Needs nothing to enhance it and as part of what Delboy calls "a health conscious fry up" if it's not on the plate then it's sorely missed, although double egg, fried slice, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and bangers with a nice cup of tea get along well enough without it.....that's what HP sauce is for.

@Captain Dan the Monarchist No sauce, I only add some pepper. Sometimes I sprinkle shredded cheese over top as well
@@Amaglabiddiaghloughbuite American have the balls to insult a simple conventional snack like beans on toast while they’re literally eating Twinkie’s and cream cheese in a bottle
I'm an American who has somewhat adopted beans on toast. It's good on days when you have a lot of shit to get done, but can spare just enough time for a food you can't eat one-handed. I ate loads of beans on toast in college and law school.
@@erraticonteuse This is it. It's not so much a national treasure, more just a simple cheap meal, a lot of us had it growing up so it can remind you of home, and you soon learn you can't afford nice meals every day if you're in education etc. You start Uni doing toast, and when you can nail not burning it, they let you use the big boy pot on a hob and get some beans on the go. Same as pot noodles. It's a cheap meal ready to eat in a couple minutes. It makes sense. Would you find spaghetti hoops on toast also strange or? It's just cheap shit that comes in a tin, lasts a long time and having it on toast is nicer than having it on it's own.
Compare the breakfasts for example, I find it very strange that some of you guys will have a similar breakfast to we do, eggs bacon sausage etc, which I strongly approve of. But then you'll have a pile of pancakes in the middle, and then pour maple syrup on EVERYTHING. I would think pancakes or waffles and syrup are more of a dessert.
@@Josh-jy6hg I still wouldn't eat beans on toast for breakfast, but for me the purpose is a good balance between kCal, carbs, and price. There's no need to put spaghetti hoops on toast, spaghetti hoops are already mostly carbs. But beans are mostly protein, so boosting them with a bit of bread is fine. That said, proper Heinz beans (as opposed to American baked beans which have loads of sugar in them) are harder to find and cost more than spaghetti hoops (or Spaghetti-Os), so they lose out in America in the low-cost, low-carb arena.
"Butty" is between two slices of BUTTERED bread break, not just break. The bread can be toasted before too. But "Toastie" is toasted after the filling is added. Unlike the US grilled cheese, toasties don't usually have butter, so it doesn't fall under the butty umbrella
In the US, grilled cheese never has butter.
@@commontater1785 thats cap you butter the outside when you throw it in the pan

Banana sandwiches are actually good tho. Buttys are not typically toasted but toasties are.
We even have a contraption called a toastie maker which is kinda like a waffle press or whatever it’s called but you put a sandwich in and it seals the sides up for you so the cheese and optional additional ham or tomato stays in. But I prefer just doing it in a pan or under the grill.
And we do have pigs in blankets but we wrap them in bacon instead
Yeah bro, banana sandwiches are the shit! Especially with a little extra brown sugar.
i can see banana sandos being pretty ok, but wtf, do you not have the extra thirty seconds to spread some peanut butter or nutella on that shit? just seems boring and flaccid.
Throw some crunchy peanut butter in it and a tiny bit of honey, then we're talking.
Banana sandwiches are normal here but it's moreso to make peanut butter sandwiches have more flavor if you don't have jelly or jam.

Butty is only one of many slang terms for sandwich in different regions. I never heard it called a butty until I moved up north. Also, the reason a toastie is called a toastie is because IT IS TOASTED. Most sandwiches/buttys aren't toasted. The toastie is basically a bit like the American grilled-cheese but uses a toastie maker, which is kinda like a George Foreman grill made for sandwiches.
And other thing, our bigs in blankets here are much better than the American version - it is literally a sausage wrapped in bacon. I'm surprised that Americans haven't stolen that one.
As for the rest, only beans on toast, pies (in various forms and with various fillings) and toad in the hole are really eaten much, and they're all pretty good. Beans on toast is great - many students basically live on it because they spend the majority of their student loans on alcohol and this provides a very cheap, yet nutritious meal.
Plus with Toad in the Hole, there's nothing wrong with "getting just dough". It's Yorkshire Pudding. We usually eat that stuff on its own. Different type of dough
Sorry to burst your bubble but we do have sausage wrapped in bacon. It just usually comes in hot dog form.
@@adamgreenhill110 Yorkshire pudding is made with batter, not dough. You can't wrap a thing in batter.

‘Butties’ are generally sandwiches made with rolls rather than bread, kinda like a burger but not really. A cheese toastie is cheese between toast.

I can attest to white pudding and black pudding, shit is fucking delicious with eggs and toast in the morning. I just discovered them like 2 years ago and I have been better off since
Actually a Cheese Toastie is similar to a grilled cheese sandwich just squished together to make it into like a toast with melted cheese in it.
I would say a butty isn't toasted bread, but a toastie is always toasted. To me a bacon butty and bacon toastie are entirely different things. Btw, if this was stressful, please avoid the bap, butty, roll debate.

Butty is a sandwich with butter on it and it tends not to be toasted. A cheese toastie is a toastie because it's toasted. If it was not toasted, it would be a cheese butty. If you put bacon on it, then toast it, it's a bacon and cheese toastie. Generally toasties are also made in a toastie maker, not just toasted bread used to make a sandwich. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Fish 🐟 chips, breakfast 🍳, Christmas desserts and high tea is fabulous.
Just want to point out that blood pudding is a delicacy across much of Europe. Its more widely eaten in Britain but definitely is eaten within Europe as a whole under different names like the blutwurst in Germany, boudin noir in France and morcilla in Spanish and even blóðmör in Iceland
morcilla y chorizo or sangre encebollada is like cheff kiss
Don't bother trying to explain culture to Americans, it's a losing battle you're fighting.
I grew up in Sarfend and there was no blood pudding there. It is a northern dish and I first had some in Scotland and loved it.
Even better when there is fat and tongue in the bloodsausage
It comes from middle ages/famine times. If you don't want to slaughter an animal you can just let out some blood from it and make pudding from it. That way you still have a somewhat substantial meal but you don't have to sacrifice livestock to eat.
1:50 well actually the term “butty” is usually defined by putting an item in between 2 *untoasted* pieces of bread, whereas the term “toastie” is given to an item in between 2 *toasted* slices of bread, changing the taste and texture
Butty is a northern term not used in southern England.
am here to clarify:
- Butty refers to a sandwich on toasted bread that has been BUTTERED
- Toastie refers to a sandwich that has been toasted as a whole

Black Pudding is also kind of a thing over here in Finland too, though we just call them black sausages. Our variation is made with pork, pig blood, crushed rye and flour, and it's generally eaten with lingonberry jam. From my experience, black sausages are bit more wet than black pudding, which felt very dry when I tried it. Probably because black sausages are cooked by steaming, and eaten while still warm.
It used to be something factory workers ate, made from bunch of left-over ingredients, but it's become sort of acquired delicacy these days. I'm not gonna claim that it's the height of culinary experience, but personally I like it.
OK I might actually be interested in trying that one. I really would love to try more Scandinavian foods. My apologies if I'm not using the right preferred term for your geographical area of the globe :)

Beans on toast is something I still enjoy to this day, especially when the butter is melted just right and the crust of the toast has just the right level of crunch
@Pie & Beans same
I’m going to have some right now.
Beans on toast is delicious, I just think people overdo it with the beans sometimes. Like they use a full can for one slice of toast or something. Then the bread gets buried and loses its taste and texture. It's much nicer when only a small amount of the beans and sauce are used, like one tablespoon per slice. Then you can actually taste the crispness of the toast, and the butter on top, and you can grate some cheese on top if you're feeling fancy too!
@@Vinsomer very true
@@Vinsomer Half a can to three slices. The toast is supposed to be crunchy around the crust soft in the middle.

I think it's just when you compare to the continental food, english food lack depth. They don't have a table culture like france or italy.

And we drink water to go with it. That would be a standard cantina meal. In England they just eat on the go and don't give any time or respect for the food culture :/

@@AliAbrahem whites make up 73% of the prison population in the UK compared to 86% of total population so a it's an underrepresentation.
@@adsri2755 point still stands
As an English man I can safely say beans on toast is way better than anything with grits, and a butty is a sandwich and a toastie is a toasted sandwich kinda self explanatory for that one 😂
As an English man living in the USA, I have personally made cheesy shrimp taco grits. Those are the only grits that have ever been worth eating. The rest make beans-on-toast look like Michelin-starred delicacies.
@@Beedo_Sookcool as a new yorker
I gotta ask:
What's a grit????
@@johnfranke1374 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, there are two main definitions, food-wise:
1) The Grit: A decades-old, actually rather decent vegetarian restaurant in Athens, GA that closed down recently due to staffing problems, or
2) Grits: A traditional horrible slop made of ground corn and, by the taste and texture of it, sweat and mucus. Available in plain, sweet, cheesy, or with shrimps in. So far, the only time I've liked grits is when I made my own nacho-cheesy shrimp taco grits to use up a bag of grits we got with a gift basket from our car dealership. The trick is the same as with stone soup: add enough tasty things to hide the fact that the grits themselves are just spackle for the stomach.
@@Beedo_Sookcool well the latter sounds downright disgusting
Have traveled in the south a bunch of times
Have seen it on people's plates
And watched them eat it
Was always confused how they could
Thanks for clearing that up
If you'd like
I'll try and explain OUR love for Americas national sandwich: the PBJ
@@johnfranke1374 Nah, I might be English, but I grew up in Ohio, so I'm familiar with PB&J. I still don't get why or even HOW people eat concord grape-flavoured stuff, though. Yecch.
Isn't cheese toasty just Grilled Cheese?
For me (a Brit) cheese toasty is a sad piece of cheese between some toast but a grilled cheese is when you but way too much fat and obesity on it so it tastes amazing.
U put butter or mayo on grill chese, and u actually cook it
As an Aussie we use them interchangeably to describe everything from sad bread + cheese slapped together to some fuckin delicacy you spent the whole afternoon perfecting.
@@sammyc-h2627 a suggestion from across the pond: obesifying your grilled cheese will absolutely make it delicious, but there are ways to make a good one without an unhealthy amount of butter or bacon fat or whatever your poison of choice is.
My ususal method is to use the minimum amount of butter required to toast two pieces of bread lightly on both sides. I toast what will become the inner sides first, flip one over and put two slices of cheese on the now hot, toasted bread, and then put the other toasted side on top of the cheese. The cheese is already melting by this point, and you just have to use enough butter to toast the outer sides to your liking. Or you can even substitute butter for something healthier like olive or coconut oil.
bonus points if you do any of the following:
• add your favorite deli meat in between the cheese slices (break it up just a little so the cheese can melt between it and still hold everything together during flipping)
• use cheese that's especially melty, like havarti or muenster
• add a pickle slice for crunch
• pair with ketchup or tomato soup for dipping
enjoy!
Best grilled cheese recipe: whole wheat bread for it's extra strength slathered with mayonnaise instead of butter. Two pieces of sharp cheddar two slices of ham one thin slice of tomato. Cook it in cast iron until both sides are black then dip in tomato soup and sour cream
Toad in a hole is not made with dough, it's called Yorkshire Pudding, look it up :)
It is fascinating how foods of necessity born from severe crisis's that were never meant or considered good cuisine, have endured into the cultural zeitgeist.
This stuff is objectively low quality, but it has a lineage that keeps it going. There's a lot of similar American cuisine from the Great Depression and Dust Bowl still eaten today. Primarily in the midwest.
mmmm shit on shingles yum
it's not low quality it's just not high status. Mushy peas are good. Blood pudding is good. Beans on toast is good. It's all comfort food that costs little and prepares quickly. Fish and chips are good.
I agree its good comfort food as is traditional Irish cooking. Not anal like the French or Italians just good tasting food.
Well, I have to say ... Carrot cake.
That was a ww2 British rationing dish, and it is absolute perfection. Of course, you have to have the correct icing with walnuts on top.
As an Englishman who now lives in Canada I am happy to report that Heinz Maple syrup baked beans have been the next step in the evolutionary timeline
To my perspective as a french person, this new is fascinating and horrifying at the same time.
that sounds fucking disgusting what the fuck
Bush’s beans maple and bacon baked beans is top tier and a stable food in the south lol
This was hilarious. As a Brit, I grew up on beans on toast, toasties and bacon butties but agree that mushy peas are an abomination. Glad you enjoyed your pie!
Fuck it I’m going to make some beans on toast right now.
As a canadian I saw multiple people saying “ he forgot about cheesy chips dipped in gravy “ my heart dropped, british people can no longer say Americans are ignorant.
Polish here with a couple of yrs long stay in the UK. At first, I just couldn't get the English food at all. Then I slowly but surely had a go on different dishes and liked it. Came back home in 2010, yet up to this day I'm loving me beans on toastie or on the fried egg, like me salt and vinegar on chips, like me steak rather raw with some mashed potatoes and mushy peas. Not to mention a healthy dose of Guinness! Over all this cuisine is not so bad as it is depicted here. Have a go on it, go to the countryside, find a nice inn and dine there. You will be very surprised.
Love the way you say me not my did you stay in the North by any chance?
@@stevensteele7742 , ta very much mate. You spotted that well. Indeed, I was a plasie Scouser ;).
I can never understand why Polish food is not more popular in the UK because everyone knows a Pole and there is a shop in every town. I regularly buy Polish sausage, ham joints, bread, pierogi, and beetroot with horseradish in a glass jar. Polish tomato sauce (Pudliski) is nicer than Heinz with a well-rounded and not too-sweet tomatoey taste. English pickled beetroot is awful, harsh and vinegary but the Poles really know what to do with beetroot.
@@tonymaries1652 it is certainly very nice I even think a lot of the fruit drinks and confectionery /sweets are more flavoursome than a lot of the English stuff there dumpling are also definitely worth checking out .
@@tonymaries1652, my guess would be it's not as exotic as, say, indian cuisine, very similar to german or czech food (well, not really, but you see it different}, and the last thing would be the social resentmen: there're too many Poles who literally flooded into the country after 2004, this may stop the Brits somehow. At the end of the day, we made you to brexit.
I grew up on this far from the mid sixties and I mostly have good memories of the food. You did not mention haggis fish & chips, jugged hare, pollock pie, mealies of assorted offal from pigs, sheep and cattle (good times) Treacle pudding, and bread and butter pudding with treacle and cinnamon. Forgettable was porridge that so over salted as to be inedible, but it was Dad's favourite as he was Scottish, so, so be it. Also, these foods in the times to come will seen like the high class cuisine of Royalty, fondly remembered in the years and decades to come.
Literally none of those sound appetizing
Sounds lovely
‘Salted’ oatmeal? 👀 I’ve lived in the UK for nearly a decade and that’s new to me.
Jugged hare? Nah 😢
@@KatharineOsborne That's because Scotland
We live in a world where Play-Do has a “DO NOT EAT” label, but British food doesn’t 😟
Best comment, don't need to read further. :-D
Because Americans can't tell what food really is, so will try to make a meal out of Play-Do
@@utbdoug tbh children do be eating non-edible crap like some sort off fancy restaurant cuisine
mate check your local Mcdonalds
Best comment dude! I envy your sense of humour and creativity.
Leave it to the british to conquer India and other Asian countries for spices and seasonings but don’t end up using them.
